You might just want to look into getting induced if you go too much longer.

I was over 40 wks also, and in my case my amniotic fluid ended up being low so they induced me. If your doc says you're ok, I would do your best to hang in there. I don't think there is anything proven you can do to get going, sorry. Good luck, you'll meet your baby really soon!
